  b. What else do you do that makes him angry enough to hurt you?
  c. He will never find out what we talk about. Don't worry. We're here to help you.

Answer to Question 1

B
The nurse's role is to provide information to the couple so that they can make an informed decision about family planning.
The nurse's role is to educate, not to advise couples on which contraceptive to use.
The nurse's role is to educate, not to decide for the couple which is the best method.
The nurse can help the couple; they do not need to be sent to a physician.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse should stress that the client is not at fault.
This is placing the blame on the woman.
This is false reassurance. Many times the batterer will find out about the conversation.
This is placing the blame on the woman and finding excuses for the batterer.
